"Functional Capacity
Evaluation - the scientific measure of an individual's physical
capabilities"
Musculo-skeletal
conditions need to be dealt with in a robust manner, and that can be
achieved through the Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE). This is
particularly important in ensuring that the employer's Duty of Care is
fully met. FCE is the only way of truly establishing what an
individual can and cannot do. This service can be provided through
our sister company Hanoun Medical which is recognised as the UK’s
leading provider of such assessments.
The FCE
process aims to establish:
-
A
reasonable, sustainable daily activity profile
-
Assist with a safe RTW
-
Provide medical and vocational goals
-
Identify major restrictions for RTW
-
Perform baseline assessments of clinical outcome measures
-
Provide objective and subjective data
-
Assess impairment
-
Identify and record behavioural aspects & psychosocial barriers to
RTW
-
Identify organic and non-organic components preventing return to
work
